Chocolate Cupcakes
Prepare 1 Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake mix per instructions on box. Add 1/4 pouch chocolate pudding to cake mix (this is absolutely what makes a cake moist! You add pudding to any cake mix and you end up with a moist yummy cake! Yellow cake: add vanilla pudding!) and mix well. Fill cupcake pans and bake according to box.
Peanut Butter Icing
1/3 cup Crisco
1/3 cup butter
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
4 cups powdered sugar
4-6 tablespoons milk
1.) Cream Crisco and SOFTENED butter in mixer.
2.) Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well.
3.) Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time (no matter what you will put all 4 cups in...however, if you add all 4 cups at one time you will end up covered in powdered sugar!)...at this point your icing will be EXTREMELY DRY AND CRUMBLY!!!
4.) Mix in milk 1 tablespoon at a time. You may or may not have to add all the milk....I use low fat milk on a daily basis and I needed all 6 tablespoons. You want enough milk to make the icing light and fluffy...
